Does this switcher support ARC for HDMI (Audio Return Channel)?

I am not sure the function of ARC, but it does do audio with HDMI. Input devices also provide audio as well.

Not sure! We used this to echo HDMI via CAT5 to thre Large LCD's in our church. It works well with two of the sets but the older Plasma has some trouble syncing. I think this is due to the TV since it happened with the older splitter. It works pretty good for this use! Best of Luck!

Yes, it is. HDMI2 is labeled ARC. We also have the 65 inch version of this TV and use the ARC audio setup with an external Samsung sound bar. It's a little funky, but it works fine 99% of the time. Sometimes the TV loses its pairing and you have to repair it and/or select external speakers in the menu, but for the most part it works. The smaller version has the same port on the back which supports the ARC thing from what I can see.

Yes you can if your TV has Audio return Control (ARC as it is called by Sony) or such 2 way communication thru HDMI.

No - this is one input to many outputs. You need an HDMI Switch - "HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3D" copy this into the search there is one showing for about $12.99 and is part of Amazon prime, it should work - here is the link not sure if amazon will let me send to you: http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Switch-Switcher-Remote-Support/dp/B00264NZWS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1360551386&sr=8-5&keywords=hdmi+switch This one allows you upto 5 inputs. Sounds like it shoud select automatically - if not does have manual. THis is probably more basic but depends how much $$ you want to spend for bells and whistles. Let me know if you have other questions. Good Luck.

It "Does this support audio return channel via HDMI. Takes a little help from tech support to get it set up for this.

on the ex700 models of sony tv there is audio return channel (ARC) on HDMI 1 that gets sound back to the surround without using an optical cable if you don't hav an ARC then you need the optical cable to get the sound back.

It is HDMI 1.4a output (- Supports Blu-ray Stereoscopic 3D with HDMI Port), so you will have multichannel audio with ARC. You can even have 5.1 through the optical (Toshlink) output via this board (no ARC though, but pure DTS stream at 1.5 mbit/s using DTS connect).

Yes it does but the manual states "The optical connection is only needed for A/V receivers that do not support ARC (Audio Return Channel)

i dont think the ps3 supports the audio return channel as it is only hdmi 1.3 compatible and audio return is a hdmi 1.4 feature.

I'm not sure.... I don't see anywhere that is says ARC - but I do use one remote for everything. I have one cable from receiver to tv and one cable from sound bar to tv and the blue ray is plugged into the receiver. Sorry I don't really know about ARC - I'm glancing thru the book - and haven't seen anything about ARC YET ...... Maybe contact BOSE to confirm 1800 736-5076

The receiver has an HDMIamp setting that allows you hear the TV through your speakers you have set up with your receiver. It also has an HDMIthru setting where you will only be hearing the TV speaker. But you have to have an ARC capable TV, then just plug your HDMI cable into this port on the TV. I hope this answered your a question.

Yes. I purchased an Amazon HDMI (ARC) cable to connect my main unit HTB770 ARC output to the TV HDMI ARC input. It woks great and gives you on/off and volume control.

I got this to work by connecting the receiver to the ARC HDMI port on the TV. That way, the TV sends all audio back to the receiver. But the TV must have an ARC capable HDMI port.

Hi James. I received your question on Amazon since I left a previous review. I don't know how your setup is, but I have ARC compatibility on my TV. I have the soundbar linked through the ARC HDMI port, and, and my PS3 (which I use for Blue Ray) in another HDMI port. By using ARC, the TV speakers become disabled, and the soundbar is now the speaker system. I use only one remote, and it changes the volume and tv channels flawlessly. If you don't have ARC compatibility on your TV, then I unfortunately don't know how to help. Thanks.

The HDMI selector switch on here toggles between the ports, yes, BUT one port is for 1080i and the other is 1080p. The other switch controls output to either VGA or Component. This is not a HDMI switcher, but a converter. If you happen to have one of each input, then perhaps you could use it as a selector switch.
